    For me, it would probably be my FAR exam which is scheduled for 5:30PM – 9:30PM. At around 8PM every computer in the room froze and suddenly every candidate’s hand shot up in the air. All of us were asked to wait in the lobby while they tried to fix the problem. It ended up taking them over 30 minutes to do so. I was probably having a nervous breakdown during the wait trying to think about my answers and I was getting more and more tired as it lingers into the night…especially since I still had the sims to do and didn’t finish until well after 10PM.

    AUD - 91
    FAR - 90
    REG - 87
    BEC - 91
    Ethics - 98

    When I couldnt believe most of the answers to my sims were in the authoritative lit tab. That was probably the day I discovered that you could search to find your answers. I was a happy camper!

    When I attempted to take FAR without studying (my nts was expiring) but just trying to use what I learned at work to answer the questions. I walked out of a 4 hour exam in an hour and scored a 49. Lol! Oh wellz, at least I tried and was really praying for a miracle.

    FAR 08/12 PASSED 76

    Craziest exam story was for my second exam (FAR). I took it at 9am and at around 11-11:30 the sun made its way high enough to where everyone in my row was blinded and could barely see their screen. It was hilarious to see a row of 10 people all holding their hand up to block the sun from their eyes.
